Take a peek at v6

Looks like we're days away from the move to v6 :)

If you'd like to take a peek, you can at http://v6.stephthegeek.com

Everything there will be wiped again before the final import, so don't get too settled :) Your existing forum accounts will work if you do a password reset. The members db isn't in yet so you'll only have basic site access, but it should be enough to poke around.

One of the big benefits you will notice as members is that the sites aren't segregated as they are now. For example, on the webcams page, if you're a member, you'll see all cams with the fast refreshes. If you're not a member, you'll just have the public ones, on the same page. It should be easier to see what's new across the whole site.

Not everything is working, namely redeeming §points, the chat, GPS tracking, and I'm still moving content over.

But take a look, let me know if you run into any weirdness or bugs, and post your opinions in the v6 forum! :)

I *did* run into quite a few things (still looking, but the SQL errors seem to be following me around everywhere, in case you're wondering where the phrase "quite a few" comes into that statement) and I stuck them on the new site before I thought about it. Probably you won't notice them in all the confusion. So...

here:

and here:
http://v6.stephthegeek.com/node/2160

Oh, one more thing: pictures on the forum being cut off if they're too wide.

Edit: Found something else. The little island at the bottom left of the screen on the front page will stick to the bottom of the browser window if it's resized, floating on top of the land in some cases. Also, if the window has to scroll down, it stays where it was with water inserted below it. Along a similar note, the island at the right side of the screen behaves the same way.

Should I stop? Because I don't want you to kill me. :D

Errors

I love poking around. Like what you have developed.

When I did the "view files" page I got the following:

warning: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should be an array in /var/www/v6.stephthegeek.com/public_html/modules/user.module on line 348.
warning: implode() [function.implode]: Bad arguments. in /var/www/v6.stephthegeek.com/public_html/modules/user.module on line 348.
user warning: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')' at line 1 query: SELECT DISTINCT(p.perm) FROM role r INNER JOIN permission p ON p.rid = r.rid WHERE r.rid IN () in /var/www/v6.stephthegeek.com/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

ambrosia: I can't duplicate *any* of the things you mentioned.

ayfudad: "view files"? Where's that? Link?

Argh, I cannot get those errors anymore... and I was trying, too! I'll keep trying.

Re: forum pictures... yep. Unfortunately in IE they break the layout, but at least in FF they just cut off. New posting guidelines = nothing inline wider than about 500px, which is probably a good rule of thumb for not posting overly large files anyway.

Re: bottom island... yeah, still working on that one :)

Keep going, don't worry! I'm expecting tons :P

Thanks :P

Ditto here with my test accounts. Maybe it's just the imported ones. I'll try that out.

I just applied a patch and tried the aforementioned pages with an imported login... no errors! If anyone gets them again, can you let me know?

When I had to fix a footer problem like that, I used footerstickalt and applied padding to the bottom of one of my elements that I didn't want going under the footer. I think I had to tweak one or two things, but in the long run it worked.

Also, when trying to add pretty much anyone (except, so far, Steph and Spaz) to my buddy list, it says that I've already got them on my buddylist. But I don't!

Thanks ambrosia, I'll try that.

w.t.f. I just tried adding you to my buddylist, and it didn't say you were already on it, but it added the wrong person. lol. Ok that *was* working... on it :P

Here's some fun. I tried purposely getting the "user is already on your buddylist" error by clicking the add link for you, steph (and you're already on my list, so it *should* have given me the message), but instead I got:

warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /var/www/v6.stephthegeek.com/public_html/includes/menu.inc on line 415.
warning: Missing argument 1 for buddylist_addbuddy() in /var/www/v6.stephthegeek.com/public_html/modules/buddylist/buddylist.module on line 713.

Yeah I'm working on that right now. I'll post again when I need some testing, but it's gonna be all kinds of weird until then.

Try now?

Turns out it was a known issue that hadn't cropped up because it only affected user IDs > 9, which wasn't among my group of initial test accounts :) Found an old CVS version of the module that worked.

There's still an error on the private messages page, but it appears that they're working.

Adding people works now!

Also, here's a screenshot of what I get in both Mozilla AND Firefox:

When I load Aardvark, it can't even find the #wrap div...maybe adding a width to #clearfloat would do it? (I don't know what I'm talking about, so feel free to ignore me).
